Hook Lighthouse, Ireland
Standing on the rugged Hook
Peninsula, located in County Wexford on Ireland’s south coast, Hook Lighthouse
is surrounded by unparalleled natural beauty. Built in the 13th century by the
knight William Templar to develop the shipping trade, the black-and-white
striped tower is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world. It was electrified
in 1972 and automated in 1996, and the lighthouse remains fully operational
today.
